Yes. This is the silent problem of enormous wealth inequality in the US. As the middle class disappears, fewer people are able to pay small fees to contribute to things like local news, community organizations, and online services.

I have multiple Bluetooth headphones that I use and wear often, and I generally prefer them. But a phone with no headphone jack is a non-starter.

Wired headphones are bedrock.They don’t need to be charged. They work easily across devices. I don’t have to worry about dropping them, or fumbling with menus to connect. They just work, always, immediately. Not having headphones that work when you need them is a huge problem.
